IES all I know; How to start!

By Aditi Saini

This is for people who are still in their colleges or even jobs and don't have time/money for coaching. IES is not only for coaching guys,i truly believe that!

1) Take a print of ESE your branch syllabus and paste it on your wall. Memorize it.  It is work half done. (Don't ignore or skip it! Please )

2) Buy a thin formula copy, color pens and a thicker ones for each subject.

3) Preferable pattern:

1. Read Notes: First reading,casually. It takes time to absorb the new words. In second reading,try to associate technical words with their meaning. In third refine, go deeper find the implications,applicability of the concept.
2. Read book. Notes only give simplified version.Books is where you build your knowledge.Follow the rule of repeated reading given in step 1.
3. Write concepts in your own words (Notes copy). This is the most crucial step,where you internalise the knowledge gained and put it into tangible form. Consider it your memory/thought tank from Harry potter.
4. Attack solved questions(with your own bare hands and calculators,no cheating) Got struck? Don't worry, Go to step 3,2,1,in same order. Update your own notes copy,if you find anything missing. Look at the solved question,compare.
5. Write formulas/units/tips down( Formula copy) Again a vital component of your preparation. Without formula copy,you are a soldier in foreign territory without a map. You might not use it or read it but you can explore it whenever you get lost.
6. Try to solve unsolved questions. We read,we forget,we write,we forget, but we do, we remember. Visualise the neural connections in your brain being made when you struggle with the application of the concepts you just read. These will help you fight questions in exam.
7. Mark the ones you find interesting These are your enemies which will destroy you in battlefield until conquered. Encounter them,before you go to battlefield. After all you want to save time for new enemies in exam.

At any point if time,don't get frustrated. Pick up yourself and hit again,this time real hard,harder than the last time.

Perseverance is the key.

 

Okay, one more quote I read which helped me in my preparation.
